The Pro871 Cable Locator (IC871 Clamp not shown)
Operation
– With the transmitter off, connect the red lead to the wire you want to
trace and the black lead to the included ground stake. Insert the ground stake
into the soil or earth ground. Do not use common grounds such as pipes or
electrical grounds. It is important that the ground stake be in the soil and
independent for the Pro871 to work properly.
Turn the Pro871T transmitter on. Adjust the FREQ setting as follows. For direct
connect locates where the wire is directly connected to the metal of the cable or
cable sheath, use the LO setting. For use with the inductive clamp IC871, use
the HI setting.
To use the IC871 Clamp. Plug the clamp into the clamp receptacle on the
Pro871T transmitter and turn the unit on, using the HI FREQ setting. Clamp the
IC871 around the cable to be traced. The tracing signal wil be induced to the
cable. As a note, inductive coupling is not as effective in terms of response and
distance as direct connect.
Tracing Wire
- After the Pro871 transmitter has been properly connected and
verified to have a good ground and power, turn on the Pro871R receiver by
turning the volume knob on the front of the receiver. Place the receiver near the
